Lovepedal's Amp 50 overdrive effect pedal is the most compact version of the Church Of Tone series. The circuit has been modified to give cleaner tones at the bottom of the gain/bias sweep and dirtier tones at the top. It can function as a clean boost, dirty boost, stand alone OD or gnarly fuzz box depending on the amplifier used, guitar vol. adjustment and gain/bias control setting. This Lovepedal overdrive effect will also stack unbelievably well with other drive units leading to increased sustain, tone and overall dynamics.

It's a bluesman's dream pedal. Order the Amp 50 now and voice your soulful sound.

I've had this for a year and a half, and never used it much until recently. I was playing mostly through a 50watt hi-gain 3 channel tube amp, and used the 2 drive channels for OD sounds and 'creamy lead tone'. This pedal works best in front of your preamp (NOT in the FX loop!), and gives one-channel tube amps a separate OD channel (in effect [get it?!])...I play out now with a 16watt vintage tweed 1 channel amp and a 1x12 cab w/ a 30w Celestion. Yes, it keeps up with drums (else I mike it)! I set the amp's volume and gain to 'loud but clear glass', and use a Lovepedal Gen5 Echo, then a Fulltone PlimSoul at unity gain, then this Lovepedal Amp50...then into the amp. I keep the Amp50 between 9:00 and 12:00, and have my 'clean channel' w/pedals off, rock/blues rhythm OD w/ the Amp50, lead-tone with just the PlimSoul, and lead-tone with extra boost and definition; high-end glass restored, with both units on. I didn't get a good result with this OD before my fuzz/distorto (PlimSoul), but it REALLY puts the sparkle back in the 'lead tone' when engaged after the fuzz. If you just play blues/rock rhythm, this might be all the OD you need--but I wouldn't want to play guitar all night with this as my only 'dirt pedal', personally. As noted elsewhere, this pedal also has a good clean boost the first 1/4 of the way (from 7:00 to 10:00), and great added clarity to your playing....I use mine, though, to gas one-channel tube amps so they'll 'channel-switch'.It's tiny, rugged, and (as you may surmise from its size) needs external power since you couldn't fit a 9v battery inside anyway. Not a problem. This is my 2nd pedal from them; they make great, useful stuff. I can't believe they don't enclose 'Church of Tone' bumper stickers, btw, but they *don't*.

This is an awesome overdrive especially if you stack it with something. I would suggest the the ep boost by Xotic or the mini bomb boost by jus for a clean boost but as far as a simple great tone OD or fuzz goes this is the bees neez!You have to get one! at between 10 and 2 o'clock you get great overdrive tones over two o'clock you start getting into the fuzz realm. before 10 you get a decent boost but its still more of an overdrive tone. anyways, I recommend this pedal to anyone from pure hard rock to blues/jazzz to church music. Amazing!

Just got this pedal the Lovepedal Amp 50 for the holidays and I'm very happy with it. Set at 3:00 it gives a nice blusey distortion. The top end is sweet and sassy. Lows are tight. It's real estate friendly on my pedalbaord and simple as can be.Thanks Musicians Friend for carrying the Lovepedal brand. I would recommend this pedal to anyone. Also plays well with my Zvex Box of Rock as well as my other pedals. I use a Strat into Epiphone Valve Jr. heads and the Amp 50 tops off the amps nicely.
